SHOE -NAIL STRIP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,80 1 dated February 14, 1888.

Application filed December 1, 1887. Serial No. 256,639. (No modeLl To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. GRANT, of Lawrence, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Shoe-Nail Strip for Feeding Nails into Shoe-Nailing Machines, of which the following is a specification. v

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts,

10 Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved strip, a small portion being represented as having been torn away. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section ofa portion of my strip. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of the same.

15 The envelope or wrapper of this strip consists of two long strips of paper,A and B. The strip of paper A forms one side of the wrapper, extends over the top,and overlaps at a the other strip of paper, B, which forms the other 20 side of the wrapper and overlaps the strip A at b. The two strips are secured to each other at a and b by suitable adhesive substance. \Vithin the Wrapper thus formed is a corrugated pasteboard strip, 0,.and in each fold or corrugation of this strip lies a shoe-nail, D. '25 Thus it will be seen that no two shoe-nails touch each other, but each is completely separate from allothers. Now this strip is fed into a suitable machine, which tears away the wrapper and the corrugated strip as fast as the nails are driven into the shoe-soles.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Theherein-described shoe-nailstrip for feed- 5 ing nails into shoe-nailing machines, the same consisting, essentially, of the Wrapper A B and the corrugated strip 0, placed longitudinally within said wrapper and having the spaces upon each side of the strip formed by o its corrugations filled by the shoe-nails, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
